Congratulations to all involved in the NSW Northern Rivers division Inter-School Chess Competition 2 at Shearwater on Wednesday 17 June 2015. Special mentions to Hugh and Janis who finished second in the primary and secondary competition respectively. And to our, I think, 23 Class 4 students who played so well in their first ever competition. One of these students deserves to be mentioned in particular, this was Radha who won 5 of 7 games.

All of the Shearwater children were enthusiastic, clever and fair-minded and a treat to coach.David Andrews

Many thanks to David, the day would not have gone so well without you! Also to the calm and collected Gardiner Chess team, and our maintenance team for setting out the hall; it was the biggest number of participants, and we needed all those tables:-)
